Strengthening Cybersecurity and Enabling Growth with a Scalable, Fully Managed Cloud Security Framework

DUDE Products is a fast-growing consumer brand in the U.S. bathroom tissue industry, known for its innovative products and strong retail presence across more than 15,000 stores and e-commerce platforms.

As DUDE Products rapidly scaled its operations, it needed to build a secure and robust IT environment to support growth and meet business requirements. Key challenges included:

• Increasing complexity in securing a growing, distributed workforce
• Need to protect access to multiple business-critical cloud applications
